| 40 | == 2.2. creating a component (in C++) == |
| 41 | The information on how to do this can be found in /html/Howto.html under the doxygen generated docs for nox. As the steps require file creation, compilation, ect, you may need root privelages on the machine. The rough steps are as follows: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | 1. Run nox-new-c-app.py from coreapps, netapps, or webapps (all three directories are found in ${NOXPATH}/nox/src/nox). |
| 44 | {{{ |
| 45 | /home/openflow/nox/src/scripts/nox-new-c-app.py -v cnf-test |
| 46 | }}} |
| 47 | |
| 48 | nox-new-c-app.py basically creates a directory containing the framework for your application (Makefile, meta.json, ect), basing it on coreapps/simple_c_app. Your app gets created in whichever directory you run nox-new-c-app.py from; in this case we created a new app "cnf-test" in directory netapps. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | 2. run `boot.sh` and `configure` so nox can find and load the app when it starts up: |
| 51 | {{{ |
| 52 | sh /home/openflow/nox/boot.sh |
| 53 | /home/openflow/nox/configure |
| 54 | }}} |
